Lately, I have been crocheting large projects mostly, as you could've seen when I presented my Havana Nights Blanket. Yes, this blanket was absolutely fabulous, but it also took lots of my energy. And a bit of my crochet-mojo, if you know what I mean. So for my next project I wanted to make something fun and fabulous, that wouldn't take months and months. And just like that a new project popped into my head. I found some yarn that matched my idea and off I go!

Have you got a favourite size crochet hook? Yes, I realize this is a very odd question, but work with me. Personally, I love working with hooks 3.5 and 4 mm. Don't ask me why, but I do. I guess they're not too thin, not too large and even when working with these sizes for a long time, my hand nor wrist start hurting. That's a winner, right! So, that was another requirement, my new project had to be made using a 3.5 or 4 mm hook. Lucky for me, loads of yarns match that hook size.

I picked Scheepjes Our Tribe as my new designated yarn. I have never worked with this yarn before, which is terrible of me as one of the colourways was picked by me and named after me (hello colourway no. 968!). But as you can see, there are loads of fun solids and self-striping colourways available. But as every, the greens and blues caught my eye... so in the end, I won't even be working with my own colourway!

I will be working with the colours pistachio branch, silver birch and Cypress Textiles. So, I can tell you that I will be making a nice and fun crochet shawl using these colours and I've been making a start and it looks great so far. The yarn is incredibly soft (premium wool, so it shouldn't come as a surprise) and I can't wait to show you more.
